his cherished position previous to the
Tilden campsign in 1875, and un-
doubtedly would have been elected

Presidential elector. Bailey, of Clarkt-
vile, wanted TO make the canvass, but
u at misfortune fell to the lot OF VIM.
B. Bate, and sent Bailey to the "House
OF Lords" as the Colleagne of Ishem q.
Harris. Again in 1881 did Bate dream
Of the Senatorial toga. He fought
Bailey and eavage, and out OF The
complications that nrose Howell L.
JACKSON went TO the Senste. Here in
1857 Gov. Bate may have his hopes
realized. He is a caucus favorite. His
election 10 the Governo ship of the
State aud his Efficient admiuistrat on
have done much for him. It may be
that the dreamer will awake TO the
realiza ion. P.sbably not. Who
know?
II GOV. A. Q. MARKS
hopes that Bates love will lie dream
ing, for he thinks himself u cool
man for Senator, though it doubtless
would be difficult matter to get him
to express an opinion until he had

OF Col. A. s. Colyar, and once sup

protective ideas for the position he
now seeks. Gov. Marks was men,
toned for The Senate at that time, but
for the first time he nov comes before
the Legislature as a prominent an
nouuced candidate.
THE HON. J. y. HOUSE,
of Clarksvi le, is an able man, with a
decided VEN Of humcr and sarcasm.
He has been running with the pollt.

high repu alton for purity OF charac-
ter. 1t is said he might have been
elected Speaker OF the House
over Randall, when our own Joe
Blackburn got left, but, being lazy, he
refused to exert himself by any effort
to antsgonize the pig iron champion.
House, along with Ba'e and MARKS,
has been termed a chestnut, bat, as
Eugene Field would cay, "he has no
flies on him." He has q strong sup
port for the Senatorship.
JUDGE JOHN L. aNKRD,
Of Memphis, is OF the iudicial cast. A
good Attorney General, he served &C.
Ceptablv on tle supreme Court bench
of the State. He is cultiva ed gen.

THE DARK HoEsHs.
Don't think / have forgotten the
dark horses, for l have ret. They are
numerous. There is Hiitor Colyar,
who is shrewd aud strictly business
but then, you know, he is too fond OF
Sam Randall and his little "me too
McAdoo," aud the Republican ideas
they advocate. Not content with try
ing to rob the people for the benefil oi
the pig iron barons, he also seems 10
foist the Republican Federal aid to
education system on The State.
Theu there's E B. Stahlmau, who is
regarded as a brainy man, but 10 net
in the line of political promotion.

the ability TO fl the position now if,
